Comparative study on amino acid sequences of Kunitz-type soybean trypsin inhibitors, Tia, Tib, and Tic

J Biochem. 1985 Aug;98(2):435-48. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.jbchem.a135298.

Abstract

The amino acid sequences of three variants of the Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors, Tia, Tib, and Tic, obtained from some cultivars of soybean were determined by conventional methods. All three inhibitors consisted of 181 amino acid residues. The differences in the amino acid sequences are as follows: Tia E12 G55 Y62 H71 S74 M114 L120 P137 L176; Tib S F N R V I T V; Tic E. The amino acid sequences of Pro(60)-Ser(61) and Asp(154)-Asp(155)-Gly(156)-His(157) of Tia reported previously (Koide & Ikenaka (1973) Eur. J. Biochem. 32, 417-431) were amended to Ser(60)-Pro(61) and His(154)-Asp-Asp-Gly(157), respectively.
